Idleb Rural Development Project

General

The aim of the project was to improve the food security and income levels of farmers and rural women, among 42,000 households in the region of Idleb. This was achieved by expanding the area of arable land, improving access to water, and introducing more efficient farming and water management practices for the sustainable use of land and water resources. Land and natural resource governance interventions supported the above mentioned activities and included the support for surveys, and studies and mapping activities related to land use, and for NRM plans. Further the project focused on the land reclamation on about 20,000 ha of largely underdeveloped land in the Jabel al Wastani and Jabel al Zawia uplands.
